Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, gross income
includes any amount received as an annuity (whether for a period
certain or during one or more lives) under an annuity, endowment,
or life insurance contract.
(b) Exclusion ratio
(1) In general
Gross income does not include that part of any amount received
as an annuity under an annuity, endowment, or life insurance
contract which bears the same ratio to such amount as the
investment in the contract (as of the annuity starting date)
bears to the expected return under the contract (as of such
date).
(2) Exclusion limited to investment
The portion of any amount received as an annuity which is
excluded from gross income under paragraph (1) shall not exceed
the unrecovered investment in the contract immediately before the
receipt of such amount.
(3) Deduction where annuity payments cease before entire
investment recovered
(A) In general
If -
(i) after the annuity starting date, payments as an annuity
under the contract cease by reason of the death of an
annuitant, and
(ii) as of the date of such cessation, there is unrecovered
investment in the contract,
the amount of such unrecovered investment (in excess of any
amount specified in subsection (e)(5) which was not included in
gross income) shall be allowed as a deduction to the annuitant
for his last taxable year.
(B) Payments to other persons
In the case of any contract which provides for payments
meeting the requirements of subparagraphs (B) and (C) of
subsection (c)(2), the deduction under subparagraph (A) shall
be allowed to the person entitled to such payments for the
taxable year in which such payments are received.
(C) Net operating loss deductions provided
For purposes of section 172, a deduction allowed under this
paragraph shall be treated as if it were attributable to a
trade or business of the taxpayer.
(4) Unrecovered investment
For purposes of this subsection, the unrecovered investment in
the contract as of any date is -
(A) the investment in the contract (determined without regard
to subsection (c)(2)) as of the annuity starting date, reduced
by
(B) the aggregate amount received under the contract on or
after such annuity starting date and before the date as of
which the determination is being made, to the extent such
amount was excludable from gross income under this subtitle.
(c) Definitions
(1) Investment in the contract
For purposes of subsection (b), the investment in the contract
as of the annuity starting date is -
(A) the aggregate amount of premiums or other consideration
paid for the contract, minus
(B) the aggregate amount received under the contract before
such date, to the extent that such amount was excludable from
gross income under this subtitle or prior income tax laws.
(2) Adjustment in investment where there is refund feature
If -
(A) the expected return under the contract depends in whole
or in part on the life expectancy of one or more individuals;
(B) the contract provides for payments to be made to a
beneficiary (or to the estate of an annuitant) on or after the
death of the annuitant or annuitants; and
(C) such payments are in the nature of a refund of the
consideration paid,
then the value (computed without discount for interest) of such
payments on the annuity starting date shall be subtracted from
the amount determined under paragraph (1). Such value shall be
computed in accordance with actuarial tables prescribed by the
Secretary. For purposes of this paragraph and of subsection
(e)(2)(A), the term ''refund of the consideration paid'' includes
amounts payable after the death of an annuitant by reason of a
provision in the contract for a life annuity with minimum period
of payments certain, but (if part of the consideration was

(3) Expected return
For purposes of subsection (b), the expected return under the
contract shall be determined as follows:

and after the annuity starting date, depends in whole or in
part on the life expectancy of one or more individuals, the
expected return shall be computed with reference to actuarial
tables prescribed by the Secretary.
(B) Installment payments
If subparagraph (A) does not apply, the expected return is
the aggregate of the amounts receivable under the contract as
an annuity.

For purposes of this section, the annuity starting date in the
case of any contract is the first day of the first period for

exceed $25,000.
(11) Special rules for certain combination contracts

(A) In general
For purposes of determining the amount includible in gross
income under this subsection -
(i) all modified endowment contracts issued by the same
company to the same policyholder during any calendar year
shall be treated as 1 modified endowment contract, and

In computing, for purposes of subsection (c)(1)(A), the aggregate
amount of premiums or other consideration paid for the contract,
and for purposes of subsection (e)(6), the aggregate premiums or
other consideration paid, amounts contributed by the employer shall
be included, but only to the extent that -
(1) such amounts were includible in the gross income of the
employee under this subtitle or prior income tax laws; or

the time they were contributed, they would not have been
includible in the gross income of the employee under the law
applicable at the time of such contribution.
Paragraph (2) shall not apply to amounts which were contributed by
the employer after December 31, 1962, and which would not have been
includible in the gross income of the employee by reason of the
application of section 911 if such amounts had been paid directly
to the employee at the time of contribution. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to amounts which were contributed by the
employer, as determined under regulations prescribed by the
Secretary, to provide pension or annuity credits, to the extent
such credits are attributable to services performed before January
1, 1963, and are provided pursuant to pension or annuity plan
provisions in existence on March 12, 1962, and on that date
applicable to such services, or to the extent such credits are
attributable to services performed as a foreign missionary (within
the meaning of section 403(b)(2)(D)(iii), as in effect before the
enactment of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act
of 2001). (FOOTNOTE 2)

Where any contract (or any interest therein) is transferred (by
assignment or otherwise) for a valuable consideration, to the
extent that the contract (or interest therein) does not, in the
hands of the transferee, have a basis which is determined by
reference to the basis in the hands of the transferor, then -
(1) for purposes of this section, only the actual value of such
consideration, plus the amount of the premiums and other
consideration paid by the transferee after the transfer, shall be
taken into account in computing the aggregate amount of the
premiums or other consideration paid for the contract;
(2) for purposes of subsection (c)(1)(B), there shall be taken
into account only the aggregate amount received under the
contract by the transferee before the annuity starting date, to
the extent that such amount was excludable from gross income
under this subtitle or prior income tax laws; and
(3) the annuity starting date is January 1, 1954, or the first
day of the first period for which the transferee received an
amount under the contract as an annuity, whichever is the later.

If -
(1) a contract provides for payment of a lump sum in full
discharge of an obligation under the contract, subject to an
option to receive an annuity in lieu of such lump sum;
(2) the option is exercised within 60 days after the day on
which such lump sum first became payable; and
(3) part or all of such lump sum would (but for this
subsection) be includible in gross income by reason of subsection
(e)(1),

be considered as includible in gross income at the time such lump
sum first became payable.
